Students had no respect for teachers and staff. Teachers paid for a terrible lunch everyday and couldn't even get a cup of tea unless we paid 50 cents. My room was never cleaned properly andv acuumed every other week. Teachers and staff have left in droves since we were told we could not walk out with the state teachers.

This school district is a dumping grounds of sorts. You get all the bad kids thrown together and only a few are worth teaching. Most are so ignorant they don't realize how poorly equipped they are. They read several grades below their school grade, and can't put two sentences together to save their lives. The students are apt to cuss a teacher rather than do the work. The administration rarely disciplines properly and allows students to bring food, chips, drinks, pot, and other things into the school in their backpacks. The teachers try to stop most of the mess going on, but there's just no way to stop 200+ kids at the 9th-grade center where the two principals are either at each other's throats constantly or not even in the building. The school is a farce. It's a joke and no one should allow their kids to attend it. The teachers walk out year after year. They hired two pedophiles in the 9th-grade center and didn't check backgrounds or social media before hiring them. It's just been the biggest joke. Students can't pass simple tests but if the teachers don't pass the athletes the coaches get fired. If you have a choice, and you do, don't let your kid go to Western Heights.

I work with children and staff of all races, I'm flexible I might have to sub at a moment notice. I love kids and my staff, working for school has improved my computer skills to a all time high. I am so thankful. I work with so my good teachers that have a true passionate for they profession. I also have helped with Implementation of SAFETY program. It promotes ready to higher levels.

Some of the employees at the bus barn were cutthroat and would try and get someone into trouble far anything. Plus the administration forced our transportation director to quit, causing thigs to get out of control.

I worked with some amazing administrators and teachers while at WHPS.A person going to work for Western Heights would need to have an understanding of the cultural norms of the community that they are about to serve as well as a "toolbox" of ideas on how to deal with the children raised within these norms.

Because its in the middle of warehouses, it doesnt seem like it, but if we are being real, its still an inner city school. You need to be a strong person to be here. Know how to handle the lives these kids are having to live. Once you get through to the kids, they are some wonderful people to know

Western Heights Public Schools are always needing extra substitutes during the school year. You are most likely guaranteed work everyday. I don't have to drive far since my children go to school in this district. I have gained a lot of experience from being a long term substitute for a first grade class for over two months. My co-workers are very nice and I love the staff at all of the elementary schools. The pay is not great at all, and no benefits. The reason why I decided to substitute teach s because the hours worked well with my children's school schedule.

My job as a Language Arts teacher was very challenging. In my first year there, there was new leadership put in place in the middle of the year. This created a change in expectations and culture of the middle school. There was also a culture of mistrust between the new leadership and teachers. There was a feeling that I, along with my fellow co-workers, were not appreciated as teachers from the new leadership and the support staff.
